Firstly, I want to thank...thank...thank film102 for once again, this now makes the third, or is it the fourth, year in a row, for sending me the Jacquie Lawson Advent Calendar!! Oh man, do I have such fun with this. The screen cap below shows about one third of the scene. Plus it doesn't even do the scene's 3D-ness any justice. Every day has something to do or view, games to play or short little vids celebrating some holiday tradition. I made puzzles, matched delicious bits of candy, colored in a gingerbread house, decorated a tree and a snowman and a stocking. And created snowflakes. plus so much more. I so look forward to this each year. It's become to mean to me the beginning of Christmas. Thank you again, Lyn, so very much!!

And then there was the Christmas Party at Susan's which was most excellent as usual. There was food and drink and the Gift Exchange! Lovely friends. Terrific memories :)In back are me, Cindy, Elizabeth and SusanFront are Jeannine and Barbara. The rule of the gift exchange is simple: no more than $8 each And a toast of many colors.Thus ends 2017 for me except for one last post, that being how my mission101 turned out.Next time!!***
